Unfortunately for the Houston area, it’s going to sit there for some number of days. ...&nbsp;Quite obviously, for us it shouldn’t be surprising because we know, biblically speaking,...that as we enter these last days…more of these types of events are going to take place and...they’re happening with greater regularity. Time after time,...it’s a catastrophic event that hasn’t been experienced before. That’s what Houston is dealing with. ...[S]ome of the preparatory work that we’ve done already will come to play and we’ll be able to get up and running in a pretty expedient fashion. ... It’ll be the leadership of both [the Texas Conference and Southwestern Regional Conference] in partnership with the churches there locally that will assist us as we attempt to help the community that is experiencing some devastating matters right now. ...&nbsp;So keep us, keep them, the people we are trying to help, in prayer.&nbsp;</span><br>
